School uniforms

Version in English

A school uniform is an outfit worn in primary and secondary schools.

For boys, school uniforms ofen consist of short or long trousers and a shirt. For girls, they consist of a skirt and a blouse. The use of a blazer (or a jacket) with a badge (or school logo) and a tie is fairly common for either gender.

In the past, most pupils in the UK had to wear a school uniform. Each school had their own uniform and badge.
It’s no longer the case today.
